The human body wasn't meant to eat . . .

I guess Blubberhouses was ok, as well.

Anything north of the Thames is all the same to me.

Well you work there, not me

Actually the human body is quite succulent, the cannibals claim. They would say "the human body is meant to eat."

I recall years ago when the "health community" said eggs were bad for you- too much cholesterol- and I thought to myself, "You mean this stuff we've been eating for thousands of years is BAD for us? Why don't I believe you?"

And then a few years later it was discovered that most of that cholesterol was of a *good* kind and eggs were suddenly ok again. So whenever something like that pops up in the news I ignore it completely.

Dont forget the "dont eat butter, eat margarine" rubbish from the "health experts".

That's because there is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. I'm not sure about the chemical make-up of eggs, but even I learnt in high school biology class that High-density lipoprotein bounded cholesterol (HDL-C) is 'good cholesterol", as opposed to Low density lipoprotein (LDL)

High HDL values give additional resistance to heart failure for example. Check wikipedia or something for more details I guess. I don't remember much about it really.

McKeith's programme takes a holistic approach to nutrition and ill health, promoting exercise, a pescetarian diet high in organic fruits and vegetables, and suggesting the avoidance of processed and high-calorie foods

Don't know her either, but this sounds very reasonable to me. She does look kinda spooky.

[Provost Harrison]

No she doesn't, she's a sourfaced moo who plays with other people's shi*t. Filthy cow.

[Traianvs]

Isn't that what TV nutritionists do? It's ****ing entertainment!

[Provost Harrison]

This is what people are supposed to do on bulletin boards...b*tch and moan
